The SC is composed of 17 members, six of which are "fixed" or permanent members that have the exclusive power to veto any resolution presented to the committee and serve an unlimited term. The other eleven members are elected for two-terms on a rotational basis from five geographical regions. The composition of the body is as follows, with fixed members in bold:
